tasknc - a C ncurses task manager (wrapper for task warrior)
Hi all!
After about 6 months of development, I am proud to announce a release of tasknc, a C ncurses wrapper for task warrior! I am to make tasknc like the mutt of task managers.
tasknc is available on github.
Features:
Customizable formats
Customizable key bindings
Customizable colors
Rules for coloring tasks
Bindings to run arbitrary commands in the shell or background on the selected task
Built-in task viewer
Screenshot:
I would appreciate feedback in the form of bug reports, feature requests, general comments, etc. Please submit bug reports to me on github.
Thanks,
mjheagle

Re: tasknc - a C ncurses task manager (wrapper for task warrior)
Nice work! Been looking for a minimal task manager setup for a while!
One question as well; is there any way of changing the default task editor?

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
The task editor runs
task editso you will need to set your editor of choice in your ~/.taskrc.

Re: tasknc - a C ncurses task manager (wrapper for task warrior)
Awesome!
Also, in regards to bugs, if I delete all created tasks from within tasknc, then try to add another, tasknc quits, while still writing a new empty task to .task/pending.data. Only happens if all tasks are deleted first though.

Run output:
snipBacktrace:

unfortunately I cannot see anything from that backtrace that will help.
could you run the following from the git directory:
cd test
./valgrind_test.shand send me the file that is generated (valgrind_errors)?
this will show me what memory issues tasknc is encountering.
thanks,

Re: tasknc - a C ncurses task manager (wrapper for task warrior)
Sorry, but after suspend-resume cycle the problems disappeared, so maybe these where my local problems... If I encounter them again, I'll use valgrind and report the problems here. Thanks for such a great program

Re: tasknc - a C ncurses task manager (wrapper for task warrior)
Thanks for the new build, mjheagle8!
There's some issue with deleting tasks though. Navigating to a task, then pressing d removes the task from the tasknc list, but after reloading the task list, the deleted task(s) reappear. They're never deleted from pending.data.

hmm, sounds like the delete command is not executing successfully. do you get a segmentation fault after deletes?
i just pushed a couple of commits, could you please pull the newest commits and send me the logfile (/tmp/.tasknc_runlog) after running
tasknc -l8thanks for testing tasknc!

i am looking into this. could you please email me your ~/.taskrc and (if you have modified it) your tasknc config?

Re: tasknc - a C ncurses task manager (wrapper for task warrior)
The folks over at taskwarrior.org seem to have decided I'm now the maintainer of Tasknc. I don't have a problem with this, but I'm posting here because 1. mjheagle8 might, and 2. even if they don't, it's probably worth mentioning that this project isn't dead. More details here:
